Ah, right you are.  That's a pretty stupid name difference, IMHO.
But it is what the __NR_* constants are called, which is as close
as we have to a single official name for Linux syscalls.  I think
it wouldn't hurt to call it fstatat64 on ppc64 too.  I also think
it wouldn't hurt to just use #ifdef __powerpc64__ in the one table.
But I also won't argue if you feel strongly that this is reason enough
to use arch=powerpc64 and separate files.


Thanks,
Roland
